In Town and hamlet

The seeds of Intermittent and bilious remittent
fever terminate and bear evil fruit No cemmu-
nifty has altogether escaped it. mpopulous wards
of large cities bad sewerage causes it, and in their
suburbs stagnant pools in sunlxen lots breed it.
There is at once a remedy and means OF proven
ton. Its name is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
which Is, without peradventure, the most potent
antidote In existence to the malarlal virus. For
tilted with this Incompatible, saving specific, mi
asmatic influences may be encountered with abso-
Lutte impunity. Disorders of the stomach, liver
and bowels, begotten by mlasma-tainted water,
or any other cause succumb to the Denehcent
corrective named, and rheumatic, kidney and
bladder troubles are surely removable by Its use
when 1t is given persistent trial.

The Indemnity of the Body Found
in the River.


The inquest over the remains of the
man found in the canal of Washburn A
mill was resumed yesterday morning.
DrS. F. E. Towers and Quinby, who
conducted the post-mortem, testified to
finding the sixth and seventh ribs on
the left side fractured directly over the
heart, and several scalp wounds. They
thought death was caused by the blow
which broke the ribs, and not by
drowning. The body had evidently
been in the water several days. Deputy
Coroner Spring testified to finding a
state fair admission ticket, railway
stop-over check issued for ticket No. 919
over the Iowa d Minnesota division of
the Milwaukee road. In his pocket was
was a trunk check, No. 36,9O4

the game opened with that position

pertaining to a young man not other

certainly both tragical and comical. 1t
was no small degree of tragedy to play
ball in the cold. while it was certainly
low comedy for short stop to
turn his back to receive the careSses of
a hot grOunder. For the first four inn

front row to exercise his
powers as mascot, while Kendall
Weston, the mascot of the
tragedians disappeared and was after
ward found baSking in the smiles of two
ladies in the top row. The result was
disastrous. The comedians sized up
Hanley's delivery and began pounding
the ball out of shape, and before they
could be checked in their wild career
had rolled up fourteen scores. The
tragedy men then threw up the sponge
in defeat, with the score standing as

With the Flour MilIs---The Market
Less Active.

The Northwestern Miller will review
the flour manufacture and market as
follows:
Though two less mills were in operation
last week, the flour output was not allowed to
give way particle. but really made an in
crease of 300 barrels. The total product for
the week eading Sept. II was $50, 800 barrels
averaging 25,0S3 barrels daily-against
$50, 100 barrels the previous week,
and 132,SO0 barrels for the CORE
the two mills referred to as idle re-
put, but the other, with LOO barrels, will
not be started until next week, at which time
another of 500 barrels capacity. and which
has been idle for a long time, will be put in
operation. There are at present eighteen
mills running, and they are producing about
25, 900 barrels daily. The week, however
will be a short one as to operations, as most
all of the mills closed down Friday noon by
the shutting of the water out of the West
side canal. 1t will be let in again Monday
noon. The water power is only medi-
core in quality. being up and down at
times Three mills retain their engines in
service, and some flour may be made by
steam while the water is out of the canal A
good, healthy flow of orders are coming in to
most of our millers, though the market is in
firm that has not big supply of orders on
hand, and but few of them report their sales
under their production. The demand is
rather scattered, coming from all parts of
New England and the East, in small lots as
rule. The exports are only moderate, last
week having amounted to 49, 200 barrels.
against 81 200 for the preceding week.

SAD ON BOTH SIDES.
Reid's Rumored FIight----Two
Homes DeSOIate.


The more that is said of the Reid
Comson case, the worse it appears. The
unfortunate girl is no better. and her
life continues to be matter of vitality.
While her physicians are singularly
reticent on the subject of her condition,
it is said her spine is injured and that
at best she can never move except on
crutches. At one time Yesterday her
pulse ran up to 122 and then for a time
subsidized until it was almost inpercepti-
bic. The watchers say she may rally,
but she may also collapse and die at
any moment.
The latest phase of the other side of
the case is the reported disappearance
of Reid. 1t is not known that he has
left the city and there may be nothing
in it, but it is believed on the street that
he is simply keeping in the background
for the present and until the girls case
is decided. All of the sympathy does
not go to her side. DR.. Reid is entirely
Frustrated over the affair, and Mrs. Reed
is said to be in precarious condition as
the result of her mental distress.
Friends say Hal Reid is much alarmed
at the reports of the girls condition,
and deems it prudent to withdraw from
public notice. without having any inten-
ton of FORGETTING the 5000 bond.

THE LAW AND THE LADY.
The Espelding Divorce Case---He
Will Paw AIimOnV.

The divorce case of Mrs. Annie Es-
pelding against Anthony Espelding, in
which cruel and inhuman treatment and
habitual drunkenness were charged,
came up on the regular term calendar
before Judge Hicks yesterday morning,
when the defendant filed an answer and
a counter charge, denying the allega-
tons of the wife and charging her with
desertion. Mrs. Espelding's story is
that they were married in 1876, when
she was nineteen years of age and her
husband thirty-One. A year or so later
Mr.. Espelding began to drink heavily,
and when under the influence of Houor
would strike and kick his wife, and on
numerous occasions drew a revolver and
threatened her life. An additional kink
in the case was the fact that Mr.. Es-
pelding had been previously ordered to
pay his wife alimony and had refused.
He was asked if he knew of any reason
why he should not be adjudged in con-
tempt of court, and replied by saying
he would obey the order and pay the

A TIME OF TERROR.
Cigarette Avenue Deserted Until
the Clouds Roll BY.


First street, the abode of the fallen
women of Minneapolis, presented a
very deserted appearance last night.
Even the houses themselves had not
their usual appearance of gayety and
ease so common to them. The reason
for all this was the fact that the
keepers, fearing arrest on in
dictments found by the grand
jury, had left for parts unknown, and
the girls felt quite Subdued in cOnse-
quence. Word that they had been in
dicted reached the keepers in some
manner Wednesday, and all the keepers
except Hattie Brush and Lille Good
rich at once left for parts unknown.
Yesterday these two became alarmed
when they learned that Judge Young,
who year ago said he would give them
the full penalty of the law if they ever
came before him again, was to try the
criminal cases, and departed. 1t is not
known just where they are, but certain
it is that Brush and Goodrich are not out
of the city. In case the women are in
dicted it is not at all probable that they
will return, as conviction now means
term of years in state prison.
